Conckive the con fusion !" FOr Mr. BENJAMIN IIUNNYNCEDE's satis faction, we can assure him the odds are, that riot his Lordship's spectre merely, but the actual lising man, will appear in the House of Lords, on the 4th ; but this not to create " confusion" among the Ministers, but among the Tories. But BENJAMIN need not be apprehensive. His Lordship will make no mention of " Runnymede." We question whether he even knows of that presumptuous young Malapert's existence. In the report, which we give this day, of the Queen's County dinner given to Mr. O'CoNNELL on Thursday last at Stradbally, our readers will find that the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin speaks out in the right spirit, respecting the nature of his connection with the Government. " They have not coalesced with me," says he, boldly and decidedly, " but I have coalesced with them." And for this obvious reason. Mr. O'CoN NELL found them willing to do their best to promote the welfare of Ireland ; and, of course, as a sincere lover of his country, he was willing, and indeed bound by the strictest ties of duty, to meet their views, and give them all the assistance in his power. He knew well that there was no hope from the Tories. They had pro mised and betrayed too often, to be ever again trusted, even on their oath ; what then remained, but that he should attach himself to that party who bid fairest, without the slightest sacrifice of con sistency, to serve Ireland. We look on the connexion —if connexion it may be called—between O'CoN NELL and the Ministers, as equally creditable to both. It proves that neither have abandoned their principles, but that both arc resolved to maintain them in the most honourahle and energetic spirit. Moreover it glads us to find that the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin is gradually weaning himself from his old hobby, the repeal of the Union. His langu'age on this head is not less explicit than satisfactory. He will ask nothing more from Ministers than what they are in reason bound to concede. Justice, not generosity, is all he demands for Ireland ; and if this be granted, not a word more will he utter on the subject of Repeal. The flag shall be furled for ever. Let DANIEL but continue to act in this moderate, equitable manner, and though the Tories, as a matter of course, may still continue to abuse him—still continue to find that his name is synoniMous with Antichrist—and bid their nurses hold him up as a bug-bear to their little-children ;—he will find him self day by day increasing the number of his English and Scotch adherents, and gaining the respect and confidence of all whose good opinion is worth having. We regret to perceive that the shocking case of starvation, to which we felt it our duty to direct some attention on Saturday, has been seized on with avidity by. some canting hypocritical pretenders to a pre eminence of feeling and sentiment. In order to ad minister to the false and unwholesome appetite of their dupes—reckless of truth and political honesty—these knaves have not scrupled to employ as instruments for their unholy purpose the grossest and most pernicious deception—attempting thus to convert the lamentable case in question into a weapon . wherewith to wage war against one of the wisest and best considered Acts which distinguished the Session in which it passed. We are not disposed to assert that the New Poor Law Bill is the perfection of human wisdom. No doubt in some of its provisions the details are susceptible of amendment ; but the principle on which it is based is sound. The policy of the measure is established by irrefragable evidence—confirmed by actual ex perience of its recent operation, and is, we feel confident, calculated to work immense bentifit for all classes, but more especially for the immediate objects of its application. It is not to be expected that it will banish poverty at a blow ; that it will, all at once, create universally diffused wealth, and charm away oc casional want from the Isle, so that it be never after seen. But the new Poor Law Bill contains the living principle ; it is cz.lculated to give that which has been hitherto begged ; and to put the people them selves in possession of those means which they have too long been accustomed to see doled out to them by the stony-hearted hand of parochial charity. We advocate the Bill, because we think its provisions are essentially humane, and because, with the only true and effectual humanity, it will teach men how to avoid pauperism, and all its frightful evils. They will learn the impor tant lesson of self-respect and self-reliance. The lesson, too, will be well learned, because it will be taught by the operation of those favourable circum stances and beneficial influences which the new Bill will silently and certainly call forth. The change in the system will bring about gradually a reform in tote habits—an improvement in the condition—from which will spring up freedom and independence, plenty, and enduring prosperity. We repeat our firm conviction, that the principle of the Bill under notice is calculated to work efficiently for good—for the good of all classes, but more especially for the immediate objects of its application. That partial evil—that individual hard ship (especially at first) will sometimes be found in connexion with the new Bill, is an accident only—an accident, be it remembered, too com mon to all great measures comprehending the general good of the whole community at large. We began by remarking on the gross delusion sought to be practised on the ignorance and prejudices of the populace, by certain canting knaves_who have made the New Poor Law Bill a peg on which to hang their worn-out calumnies, we now conclude by declaring, what, indeed, must be evident to all who think for themselves, that the death of the poor man, Weeks or Wicks, has about as much to do with the calumniated Bill, in the relation of cause and effect, as the recent falling-in of the suspension-bridge in Scotland, and Lord SA N DON'S still more recent supremely silly speech at Liverpool. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1836. Mr. Ex-Sheriff RAPHAEL has, it seems, indited another epistle to the electors of the. county of Car low, in defence of himself and his late proceedings,. and teeming with abuse of Mr. O'CONNELL. In pursuing this line of conduct, Mr. RAPHAEL has been exceedingly ill advised. He might have learnt, from the late exhibitions of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT— if he did not know it before—that wounded vanity and disappointed ambition are bad counsellors ; vet is he running a race with the Hon. Baronet, to show the public which of the twain is the greatest fool. The Ex-Sheriff had a laudable ambition to become a patriot, and imagined that a good title to that distinction might be purchased for a couple of thousand pounds. He had miscalculated the cost—he lost the 2,0001. which he had risked in the political adventure, and instead of sitting down quietly, as any man of sense would have done in his circumstances, he raises a hue and cry against Mr. O'CONNELL, whose only real offence is, that he consented to countenance the schemes of a person in whom no confidence ought to have been placed. But the Ex-Sheriff no sooner lost his money than he lost his temper also. He was thus betrayed into the commission of an act which no provocation could justify—we mean the publication of the confidential letters which passed between Mr. O'CONNELL anti himself in relation to the Carlow election. A man of cooler temperament, and . greater sagacity, would have seen at once that this was a worse than useless violation of that feeling of honour by which every one having the least pretensions to the name of gentleman considers himself bound in such cases, because Mr. R A PHAEL'S expose really gibbeted himself—not his opponent. It is evident from the letter now under consideration, that the ex-Sheriff begins to have some misgivings on this point. For, although he pretends to nibble at one or two of Mr. O'CONNELL'S statements, which he cannot invalidate, his chief aim is to vindicate himself from the charge of having " published and misapplied private letters"—of having " violated the privacy of confidence." And how is this grave and weighty charge repelled ? Why, the Ex-Sheriff asks "whose fault it was" (t) that lie (lid so ? The breach of confidence he does not—he cannot—deny ; but he says he was ill used ; and this ill usage absolved him from all obligations to observe the laws of honour. Such is Mr. RAPHAEL'S defence ! Such is the new code by which the members of BROOKES'S are in future to be bound ! In the Times of this Morning, appears a letter to Lord BROUGHAM, bearing the signature of " Run nymede." It is written in a smart, flippant manner— very much after the fashion of the would-be witty re flections in BEN. DISRAELI'S " Vyvyan Grey"— and indeed, from its extreme foppery of style, we can attribute its authorship to none but this ingenuous youth. It is a great pity that this promising springald will not content himself with catering for the tastes of the boudoir and drawing-room, instead of rushing headlong into the arena of politics, where he is about as much at home as O'CONNELL would be in the pulpit of the New Jerusalem Tabernacle. Conceive a DIS RA ELI sitting down deliberately to at tack a BROUGHAM ! Why, the mouse attempting to eat up the lion—of which /Dap speaks so amu singly —wa s nothing to this ! It is edifying, however, to observe how, in spite of himself, young BEN'S ad miration of the first Statesman of his age, peeps out. He speaks of his sarcasm, as if the very thought of it were enough to annihilate him. " Your Lordship (says he) has a genius ; good or bad, it marks you out from the slaves who crouch to an O'CONNELL, and insult a BROUGHAM. NAPOLEON marched from Elba,--you, too, may have your 100 days. What, though they think you are dying—what —.though your health is quaffed in ironical bumpers in the craven vecrecy of their political orgies—what if, after The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Sa turday have been received. The Court of Peers passed sentence on the last of the prisoners of April on Fri day. Among them was the prisoner Dr. BEAUMONT, whose appeal to this Government, as a British subject, we noticed some weeks since. He was convicted to the en tire satisfaction of his Noble Judges, of having been an active member of the Society of the Rights (y . Man, and was sentenced by the Court to transportation for life. As Dr. BEAUMONT was born in New York, it is probable that the sentence passed upon him by the Court of Peers, will be brought under the consideration of Congress as soon as the result of his trial is made known to the Government of the United States. He is greatly blamed for the intemperance with which be conducted his defence. A rumour prevailed in Paris on Saturday on the subject of a change of Ministry. The persons named as about to retire were the Duke'DE BROGLIE, Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, M. GUIZOT, Minister of Public Instruction, and M. PERSIL, Minister, of Justice. They were to be succeeded by MM. HUMANN, GERARD, and S A UZET. It was further stated that the Cabinet, consequent upon such an arrangement, would bring in Bills for the reduction of the five per cents, and for a general political amnesty. The first of these measures cannot be long postponed, as six of the nine Committees into which the Chamber of Deputies is divided, have declared themselves in its favow, and the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1856, other three have yet come to no conclusion on th subject. The Foreign intelligence contained in these Journa will be found in our extracts from them. The Moniteur at length publishes the long expected promo tions in the navy. Rear- Admiral Baron Reni: ; Constant Lemarant is promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral ; Captains Le Blanc, Lalaude, and Gailois, to the rank of Rear-Admiral. A letter from Toulon of the 18th says that the Alyeridas and Artemise are ordered to take their provisions on board, and that it is supposed they will shortly sail to join the squadron of Admiral Mackau at Brest, where it is expected that the whole squadron will be assembled in the fist fortnight of February, and immediately proceed to the Antilles to protect our possessions there, in case of need. The Sentincile of the Pyrenees, after having announced that the Carlists had fortified the castle of Guebara, three leagues from Vittoria (a position which they considered as highly important), says, in a kind of postcript, that the castle had been taken by the Christinos. The Gazette says :—" A report has been spread at Elisondo that Zarandaja (Leon Yriarte) had fallen into an ambush formed by the 9th and 10th Isttalions of Navarre, in the environs of Aria, and that having received two lance wounds, he had . been taken prisoner with 20 foot soldiers and 12 horsemen. This is another piece of news wh'elt requires confirmation, like that of the desertion to Don Carlos of a company of the English auxiliaries. The Bayonne journals received this morning do not speak of the capture of Don Yriarte by the Carlists, but say that in Lis late expedition he made some Carlist custom-house officers prisoners. The staff of Don Carlos at Onate consists of 800 officers and monks, who are not one of the smallest burdens on the finances of the Pretender. _ . A letter from Vittoria says that the General-in-chief has deprived Espartero of his command, and that the Chapelprris are incorporated with the division of General Evans. They receive six reals daily. It is affirmed that Guerque is acquitted by the court-mar tial, and that Don Carlos has placed under his command four battalions, with orders to proceed to the Asturias.—Messager, January 23. , Madrid Papers to the 17th inst. have been received. The Chamber of Peers passed the law voting con fidence in the Government, without a single amend ment This was as we anticipated it would be when informed that the Bill had received the sanction of the Deputie:. In the Chamber of De puties, a stormy debate took place on the 14th on Article IV. of the project of law for regulating the elections. The first three articles weie carried, but when the fourth was proposed a majority voted against it, and in favour of a system_ of direct election. Strang e as it may appear, M. MENDIZABAL approved of the decision to which the Chamber came in its discussion on this measure. _ _ The news from the North of Spain received by the Government was very favourable. The Carlists were losing ground in Navarre. New York Papers to the Ist instant have been re ceived. Mr. BARTON had not then reached the United States, and no further notice was taken by Congress of the relations between that country and France. It is said that the President is still for war; but all will depend upon Mr. BARTON'S report of his embassy. The Accounts from Texas are to the 16th ult. The war continued to rage with unabated violence, although SANTA ANNA 'had succeeded in repulsirg the Texians. Whether they will eventually succeed must depend upon their friends in the United States. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Montreal Papers to the 25th December have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. We extract the following : " The papers from Nova Scotia and the lower Provinces received yesterday, are unusually barren of news. " We are informed by a gentleman who has arrived from Fredericton, that a smart shock of an earthquake was felt on the morning of the 30th ult. " We have much pleasure in stating, that owing to the readiness with which the Committee of Trade entered into the views of the deputation from the St. Andrew's Railway Asso ciation, about one thousand signatures were in the course of Tuesday obtained to the petition. " We have great pleasure in subjoining a portion of a pri vate letter from a gentleman in tile eastern district of Upper Canada. Well may the Constitutionalists tell Lord Gosford that our neighbours have their eyes upon us r-- " If the Constitutionalists in your province be firm, and pre pared to strike the first blow, there can be little apprehension of the result. To avoid war is to be prepared for it. I always find my safety in meeting danger more than halfway in this province. We look on with much concern, and the spirit of the people here is already so much excited, that many of them only wait an invitation to go down and assist their countrymen in Lower Canada. In my opinion the sooner you make a stand against the tyrannical conduct of the French House of Assembly the better ; for in the meantime they are forging chains wherewith to bind you hard and fast.' " We extract the following from the Baltimore Papers re ceived this morning to the 30th December : " Mexican Journals have been received to the 18th ult., and from their contents the intelligence appears of a nugatory or equivocal nature ; Mexico is stated to be tranquil, but the Journals of that city contain dispatches and other letters showiug that meetings have taken place in various towns, to demand of Congress to preserve the Federal Constitution of 1824. The middle and north-western States are still in the pay of the . Indians in their incursions, and are market by murder, plunder, and desolation." Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 22d November have been. received at the North andouthern American Coffee- House. They state; l / 4 from the Eastern frontier, that " according to the accounts received by last post, it has not been disturbed for several weeks past. In the new province, the business of lo cating and assigning boundaries, &c., to the various claimants, is proceeding with little interruption. A correspondent, however, states that the Commissioners find it difficult to sa tisfy the Caffres in the lands given to them. Botma and Crio flatly refuse to take these intended for them on the river ; wh:.t will be result, we do not know. They build on their own lands, at . d the soldiers go and burn them down. Our correspondent states that Colonel Smith is about to leave the frontier. He is discharging the Hottentots. They are aug menting the Cape Corps as fast as they can. From the Fen goe settlement, in the neutral territory, the intelligence is not satisfactory. The few remaining families, it is feared, will be compelled to leave, as they are unable to defend their cattle. All accounts agree in stating, that there is much suffering and great disorder in Graham Town. Drunkenness has not diminished." We have received Swan River Papers to the Bth of August, and Mauritius Papers to the 22d of October. Their contents are not important. The Cape Town Papers further add, that on Wednesday morning, a pretty smart shock of an earthquake was felt in Cape Town and its neighbourhood. It lasted about three seconds. Earthquakes are very rare at the Cape—none has occur re i since 1809. Our arrivals this morning are two mails from Calais—two Ostend—and one Lisbon by the Espoir—►vi►h a number of ship letters, both•from the West and East Indies. We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday, bringing the Amsterdam prices of the 22d instant. Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 55 7-16; Five per Cents. 103 k. The accounts of the loss of the passage-boat on the More dyke has been already contradicted by us, and to-day officially by the Handelsblad. Calcutta Papers have been received. The following is an extract of a letter from Bencoolen :—" My letters from Ben coolen of the 20th of July are still more gloomy and portentous. The contiguous county was in a disturbed state—commotions prevailed." _ The information from New York does not bring the arrival there of Mr. Barton, as was generally expected. The ship General Washington, which sailed from Liverpool with the Pantaloon, with Government dispatches, had arrived out, and no doubt communicated the sailing of the Pantaloon.

REJECTED ADDRESSES ; OR, DANIEL AND THE WIDOW TORY. " The one great hope of the Tories, on their last accession to office, was in Daniel O'Connell. They trusted he would see cause to cut with the Whigs ; and, in that case, why might he not, by a little adroit flattery, be prevailed on to throw him self into their arms ?

There were abundant arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week and a fair return of Flour. The trade throughout the week continued without any variation and prices were supported for all articles. This morning there is a good fresh supply of all kinds of Grain, and the attendance at Market was good. The Wheat trade was not so brisk this morning, and although prices were supported little business was transacted. Fine Barley meets a good demand, other sorts unvaried. Beans and Pease as last noted.

The horses disengaged themselves from the coach, and leaped over a ditch into a field,' leaving the coach fast in a bank, and from its awkward situation, required to be dug out by several labourers which were procured from the neighbourhood. Although they were several hours thus engaged, the passengers would have been further delayed, had not the guard arrived with three waggon horses from a farm, and thus dragged the coach from its position. The letter bags were forwarded by the Bath mail to Bath, and from thence to Bristol by post-chaise, where it arrived noarly two hours after the u sual time. The coachman and guard were slightly bruised, but the passengers, horses, and coach, were not the least injured. IRELAND. Q UEEN'S COUNTY DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL ( Abridged from the Dublin Ereniny Post of Saturday.) On Thursday evening the independent electors of the Queen's county, entertained Mr. O'Connell at a public dinner in Stradbally. The honourable gentleman slept on the pre vious night at Moate, on his way to Tuam. The country peo ple being aware that he would, on his way to Stradbally, pass over the Heath of Maryborough, collected in thousands to meet him, and, notwithstanding the constant wetness of the day, the number of persons who met him on the Heath, and those who joined the cavalcade on its route to Stradbally, ex ceeded twenty thousand. By order of the High Sheriff, two troops of horse and all the police force of the county, were ordered into Stradbally ; and this, added to the large number of persons who camc from the most distant part of the county to attend the dinner, made it impossible to procure stabling or any kind of accommodation whatever. The people felt highly indignant at the conduct of the Sheriff in making such an un necessary display of military force upon the occasion of a con vivial meeting of the gentlemen and freeholders of the county. There never was an assemblage where more order and good conduct was manifested than that of the people of the Queen's county on this occasion. On Mr. O'Connell's arrival he proceeded to the house of Mr. Kelly, where a platform was erected, and having ascended it, he addressed the immense multitude as follows :—" My friends, I cannot express to you the heartfelt gratification I feel in coming amongst you. lam come amongst you to give you my advice, and to ask your opinion. I say that we will not be satisfied unless ample justice be done to Ireland. _I said the same to the people of Connaught, amongst whom I have been. I asked them would they be satisfied to give up Reps al if justice were done to Ireland, and they said they would, anti they commissioned me to tell the English people so. I now ask you the same question—are you satisfied to give up Re peal if justice be done you?—(Cries of " We are; we will give them an opportunity to do justice to us, and if they do not, we will not be satisfied.") No, no ; you may be sure that I will . not be satisfied. You have suffered the most cruel per secution—youhave suffered at one and the same time the most cruel despotism. I regret that your noble county should be misrepresented by that fifteenth part of a man, Lord de Vesci ; aye, he is only equal to half a tailor.—( Laughter.) I was told that his Lordship had many good qualities ; but peoplo were deceived in him, for there is not a more worthless man in the worthless House of Lords. The next election, I hope, will teach the men who misrepresent you a lesson ; you will send them out to the tune of the " Rogues March ;" yes, you will kick out the son of Vesey.—( Cries of "We will.") I thank you for that promise, and I know you will fulfil it. Does any person among you pay tithes ?—(No.) Well, I thank you for that, too. But be careful and don't break the law. The Orange faction say that tithes must be collected ; they say the Papists must pay tithes to support a Church which they do not believe ; or perhaps they would wish to make prose lytes of you to that Church by such acts as the shooting of the widow Ryan's son for the honour and glory of religion. The Church by law established would wish to convert you, but how are they going about it ? They have given up the invocation of the saints, and now they invoke the attorneys, who are sending you all into the Exchequer.—( Laughter. ) We are fighting against a vile ascendancy, who would trample on the people. We must succeed—we have on our side the people, and we have with us too the King's Government.—( Loud cheers.) We are now the King's men, and they are the traitors. They talk of superseding the Princess Victoria, and bringing in that ugly fellow the Duke of Cumberland. I think, mad as they seem to be, they have better sense than to try it. You would see how we would upset the Orange men ; every man would lend a helping hand to put them down. I remember once in Kerry a tenant of mine who went to a fair to sell a pig, and a fight commenced, and a neigh bour came up to him, and told him that there was a fight between the Murphys and the Orangemen. ‘‘ Well," said he, "what a scoundrel I am to mind selling a pig whilst there is an Orangeman to be beaten." He abandoned his pig, and lent most efficient aid in knocking down the Orangemen. —( Laughter.) The first great duty we have to perform is to attend to the registries, and send honest men to Parliament ; the next thing we are to do is to open the Corporations, and cleanse those sinks of corruption and plunder. You have al ways taken my advice ; and I now advise you to get up peti tions signed by every man who can write his name—and even those who cannot write should put a big cross to it, which might frighten the enemy even more than tha name, and send them to Parliament for the total abolition of tithes ; let peti tions go in with three or four millions of signatures to them. If we are to judge of the intentions of the Orange faction by their organs, the newspapers which are in their pay, it is evi dent they seek the blood of the people. It might hardly be credited, and yet it is true, that one of those journals exulted over the blood-stained fields of Rathcormac and Inniscara, and regretted that there were not more victims to glut the blood thirsty appetites of those monsters in human shape.—( Excla mations of horror.) We want to put an end to such a state of things—we seek for equal law and for justice to all—and we have at length the government of the country with us—we have the honest people of England and Scotland with us, and we must succeed.—.(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman made some further observations, exhorting the people to peaceable good conduct, and a reliance upon the govern ment. He said be hoped at the next election that honest man, Pat Lalor, would be one of their representatives, and concluded by calling for three cheers for Lord Mulgrave and his Majesty's Ministers, which was most enthusiastically re sponded to. The immense multitude quitted the town without the slight est accident or breach of propriety occurring. THE DINNER Was laid out in the large factory belonging to Mr. Lead better, a Quaker. At six o'clock dinner was laid, and upwards of 300 persons sat down. The chair was filled by Mr. Lalor, the late Member for the county ; on his left was their guest, and on his right sat Lord Galmoy. J o hn Robinson Price, Esq., filled the Vice-Chair. When the cloth was drawn, and the usual loyal toasts drank, The CHAIRMAN, after a glowing eulogiu illustrious Mr. O'Con nell, concluded by giving the hea lth of their guest— " The Liberator of Ireland." Mr. O'CoNNELL rose and said—lt is a week since I came out of Kerry, and I had not time or opportunity to see half the abuse I got, but I am told now that the Orange news papers have no name for me but that monster, O'Connell. From the frantic Londonderry, down t o th e l owest Orange man, I am the constant topic of abuse. Well, you see, I am thriving on it—(laughter)—indeed I am glad of it, for it shows that they have some apprehension of me—they hold up my name to frighten the Orangemen, as nurtes frighten children with raw head and bloody bones.—(Langliter.) I have been some months among my native mountains, and it is only a week ago I began agitation in the new, and I think I have lived a quarter of a century in that week.—( Hear.) I have seen more unanimity amongst the people than ever I saw before, and I have seen that there is more likelihood of the good and virtuous part of the aristot•racy being united with the people than ever there was before ; and this is a cheering prospect. Nhe brutal ferocity of the Tory faction of Eng land has been of late equal even to that of Ireland. I do not say this on light grounds. Look at the newspapers that arc their organs and mouthpieces, and sec the daily aspirations for more blood that are put forward in them. They call the exem plary clergy of the people surpliced ruffians; they do every thing to insult the people, and to urge them to retaliation. The Standard has gone the horrible length of exulting over the butchery of the widow's son, and expressing regret there were not more victims. This is no imagination of mine, and although such infernal aspirations could only be supposed to belon g t o t h e fiends of hell, yet it is true that beings in the shape of men have given utterance to them.—(Cheers.) The Orangemen of Scotland are almost equally bad ; but, thank God, there are very few of them amongst the honest people of th a t coun try. You could lock them all in a closet ; and, few as they are, they will soon be less.—( Laughter.) D o I exaggerate anything about the Orangemen ? I state nothing but the lite ral fact. But we despise the threats of Orangemen. The great Duke of Wellington said at one time that it was by the sword that Ireland should be maintained ; but after all his boasting of sword and truncheon he was compelled to grant Emancipation.—( Cheers. ) We have a certain protection in his Majesty's Government, and it is equally admitted that it is a beneficent Government, not doing, to be sure, all the good that is necessary, but doing, at least, all that is in its power to do. I have called on the people to stand by the King's Government, they will do so, and I am sure they will not have reason to regret it. As my. friend, your Chairman, said, much is to be done, and as long as a single grievance remains unredressed, I am a sworn agitator.—(Cheers.) I am going to ask justice from England for Ireland. I'll tell them that we are their friends, the frieads of order and good govern ment, and the friends of that connection by which the two countries are united. tell them to do us justice, and we will give up our object of Repeal.—( Cries of " Yes, do")—but I'll tell them, also, that if they do not, I'll fall back upon seven millions of my countrymen, and demand le gislative independence. I have been authorized by the people of Connaught to say the same, and I'll say it in as genteel and delicate a manner as a dandy would express himself at a tea party ; but if I am thrown overboard, I have my resource. I do not utter this by way of threat—no such thing ; all want is equal justice for Ireland, and every one will allow that is a very reasonable demand. We want to have the corporations cleansod—to have an end to packed juries and Orange sheriff's —to have the beneh what it ought tobc—tohave a doz en o f straightforward honest men, like Louis Perrin. We want to have the magisterial bench purified—to send from it partisans and clerical magistrates of every denomination. We must turn out the tag-rag and bobtail of the city of Dublin corporation. I will say you have given Corporate Reform to Scotland and England, and will you refuse it to us ? They cannot refuse us. We will get rid of tithes, which hav e b een t h e source of so much strife and bloodshed in Ireland. England and Scot land demand a reform of the House of Lords—lreland will join, and we cannot be refused.—( Hear.) I wish to join the people wish the aristocracy, and not to set them against them. It has been trumpetted forth by the Orange press that the Mi nisters have coalesced with me, and the chief crime atta ibuted to them is that they support my measures. I will say, once for all, that all this is otally unfounded. The Go vernment has j not coaleseed w i t h me ; b ut I h ave coa lesced with them, simply because th ey h ave s h ow d a determitia tioa to do justice at length to my unfortunate country. _(Loud cheers.) Nay, what is more, it is very probable who but would w h at that t meththere p e a r r s e o n m a 1 :s e l r t ° o f ° t n t e e i n ' P e t s e a Go disrespect vernm e n t ; care I for that as long as they are inclined to do justice to Ire land.—( Cheers ) From my earliest days I have been think ing of the modes of redress for Ireland, I said, when I was young, that I would devote my name to the interests of Ire land, and I renew t h e vow th a t every fnture year of my life shall be devoted to her cause. —( Cheers.) It is said that po pularity is fleeting, nd that the idol of to-day is but the victim of to- morrow. I utterly deny this; I never knew any man to lose popularity who was deserving of it ; those who lost it, al ways deserted the people ; nay more, popularity has often re mained w hen the object of it became unworty, the people hoping that some good qualities of the past would again spring into action, and that the person who had forfeited the confidence of the people would become again worthy of having that confi dence replaced, and that when the cloud ceased to obscure, they would again receive him into the sunshine of fame. Per haps we may not get all we want at once, but I'll take what ever instalment I get, and demand the remaining twenty shillings in the pound the more boldly for having got the in stalment. I will conclue by giving " The health of my friend Lalor, long life to him, and may every wish of his heart be gratified. " The toast was enthusiastically received. Mr. LILOR rose and returned thanks in a very able manner, A PA nsos AND writEns.—The duce islands in the Atlantic, off the Bay of Galway, known as the Isles of Arran, arc the property of the Rev. Mr. Digby, an old Protestant clergyman in the county of Kildare, who receives 2,500/. a year out of them. His agent, Mr. George Thompson, who holds a situa tion in the Treasury, Dublin Castle, generally visits those rocky islands (we might almost literally call them three rocks, as the soil is not, in general, above two or three inches deep, and that frequently laid on the bare stone from pits of clay and gravel, found here and there an.idst the rocks)—goes down there for a few days in summer to receive the arrears. The winter gales are picked up by two sparrow-hawks whom he keeps constantly on the islands. Some years ago the poor people made the rents by burning kelp, but that article is now of so little value, that it would not pay for saving it. At pre sent the principal resource of the islanders is the fishery, and, for want of harbours, proper boats, and fishing-tackle, that is exceedingly precarious. _ For the last four years there is not a single lease on the islands. The tenures are not even annual. They arc ALL tenants at will, or by sufferance, yet there are not better-paid rents in the empire than those of the Rev. Mr. Digby, in Arran. The population, amounting to near 3,000 souls, is exclusively Roman Catholic—there is not a single Protestant on the islands. Some months ago, the parish priest, the Rev. Michael Gib bous, applied to the Board of Education for assistance to build four school houses, which was immediately promised, on condition of Lis obtaining leases of proper sites from the land lord. He accordingly applied to the agent, Mr. George Thompson, of the Dublin Treasury, who replied that he should take three weeks to consult the Rev. Mr. Digby. The time elapsed, and the Rev. Mr. Gibbons having received no satisfactory promise from Mr. Thompson, came up to town specially on the subject. Mr. Thompson said a great dee: to him about " the difference between volt, Catholics, and Us, Protestants," as to the system of education pursued under the Board of Education, and finally told him that, on the part of Mr. Digby, he was not disposed to grant any lease to such a Board ! ! Well, then, said the Rev. Mr.' Gibbons, build the school-houses yourself, and we'll be equally obliged to you. Oh, replied Money-bags, Rome was not built in a day; we'll build ONE first, and then we'll see what's to be done. We cannot conclude this narrative without adding, that this un-. derling of the Castle, who knows how to multiply his monk.% as shrewdly as any Jew at the Stock Exchange, actually 're quested the priest to bring him the new cheap edition QL the Douay Bible, in order to assist his decision. " I ty.n most anxious," replied Mr. Gibbons, "to give you every sPAisfaction, but I cannot help observing that it would be better to teach the poor people to spell and read first, before you trouble yourself about the particular version of the Scriptures to put into the hands of a community exclusively Catholic."—Dublin Freeman. THE MARQUIS OF CLANRICARDE.—We received an im portant communication from Portumna, relative to the conduct of the Noble Marquis, in his ultra-zealous endeavours tofaci litute the collection of the blood-stained impost. We are sorry we cannot allude farther to his extraordinary conduct at present ; we may have something to say on this subject in oLur next. For the present we will only say that the whole of Me King's troops, with the peerage, the parsons, and the police at their head, would fail to collect tithes from an indig nant and long-insulted nation. Would they not rationally ask, will not the blood of our brothers have been spilt in vain, if we tamely submit to this brand of degradation ?—Freeman. OUTRAGE AND MURDER.—On Thursday a woman named Mary Mullowney, from the barony of Iverk, in the county Kilkenny, attended the funeral of one of her neighbours, who was interred at Tramore on that day ; on returning home in the evening, accompanied by four men—also her neighbours— they tied a handkerchief tightly round her neck, to prevent her crying out, and then violated her person. The wretched woman was found dead next morning between the forge on the Tramore road, and the turn to Drumcannon church-yard I The wretched and truly unfortunate woman was, no doubt, strangled by those demons in human shape, after effecting their wicked purpose, in order, if possible, to evade the con sequences of their hellish deed. We are happy to announce that they will be disappointed, as, we understand, all the guilty wretches are known.— Waterford Chronicle. ANTI-TITHE MEETING.—For a number of years the parishes of Rathvilley. Baltinglass, and Hackestown have advanced to gether in the march of reform, and set a praiseworthy example to the surrounding districts, which will not be lost on them. A Meeting was held last week for the purpose of accomplishing a three-fold-object—first, to petition against the blood money _secondly, to protest against the tyrannical treatment of Orange landlords to their poor tenantry—and thirdly, to pro mote the O'Connell tribute. The excellent speech of the Rev. Mr. Lawlor will be read with delight by all good Irish men. Had every county such independent and spirited souls as Wicklow, Ireland would not be, as she has been, and is, a land of slavery. TITHES.-CORK COUNTY MEETING.—It is now generally understood that, where the Composition is in arrear a-year and a half, the Courts of Equity are empowered, under Stanley's Act, to place a Receiver on the Landlords' estate. Several applications of that description have been made, both in the Court of Chancery and Court of Exchequer, and have been uniformly successful. Under circumstances of such serious pressure and embarrassment, the Tory and Conservative gentry have been naturally driven into a general consult and delibera tion as to the most expedient course for their adoption. A County Meeting, held under th e p res id ency of the High Sheriff, has suggested itself as the usual and proper mode of ascertaining the general opinion, and of taking such steps as shall be considered most advisable. Most of the principal and leading gentry concur in the propriety of such a Meeting being held. We understand, however, that there are a few-- very few large dissentients. We have heard that one very ex tensive landed proprietor, who holds lay tith es to a considera ble amount demurs. The highly respectable gentleman re ferred to, cannot, however, when he gives the subject due con sideration, entertain any doubt that Parliament will provide for the security of that kind of property."— Cork Reporter. The Lord Lieutenant has declined to confirm the appoint ments of Justices of Peace recommended by Lord Lieutenants in all cases where they are connected with Orange Societies, and do not give up that connexion. The quarterly assembly of the Dublin Corporation was held on Friday last. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. TIIE ATTORNEY-GENERA L u. PEARSON. The Loan CHANCELLOR was occupied t h e w h o l e morning with the further arguments in this app ea l f rom t h e d ec i s i on o f His Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The case related to a chapel at Wolverhampton, founded in the year 1701, 4, f or the use of Protestants Dissenting from the Established Church." The original foundation, which had been e:msiderably in creased, after many changes, was at theTtesent moment in the possession of persons professing ljnit ar i an d octr i nes . The relators contended that it was never intended by the original founder that' persons of that persuasion sh o uld be tolerated in the chapel, and the principal question in the case was whether under the words " for the use of Protest ants dissenting from the Established Church," such a s ect could be admitted to partake in the management of the chapel. Sir Wm. Horne was heard on Saturday in favour of the ap peal, and this morning Air. JACOB followed on the same side. The case appears likely to occupy the whole of to-day and to-morrow. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY)• NEW POOR LAW AMENDMENT ACT.-LANG V. SPICER. This was an action brought against the Mayor of Ports mouth for assault and false imprisonment. Both parties being anxious to save expense, agreed that the facts should be stated in a special case, and the opinion of the Court taken upon tke construction to be put on the words of the 57th section of the Poor Law Bill. The case was argued this morning, when the following facts were laid before the Court. In the month of August, 1892, the plaintiff had an order of afiliation made upon him for the p a y ment of the sum of 2s. a week to the parish officer o f P ortsea, as the reputed father of a bastard child ; which he paid regularly. The mother of the child got married to a labourer, named Joseph Toe, in No vember, 1834; she kept the child, and received the money for its support from the parish. In March, 1835, the plaintiff learned some of the provisions of the Poor Law Amendment Act, and refused to pay any more money. The parish officers continued their payments to the mother, and had the plaintiff summoned before the defendant, who having heard the case, decided that the plaintiff was bound to con tinue the payment, upon the order of the affiliation, so long as the child was chargeable to the parish. The plaintiff refused and was committed upon a warrant signed by the de fendant, the plaintiff then paid . the money, an d b roug h t h i s action for the arrest and imprisonment. Foe, the man who married the mother of the child had hs. a-week, and had. himself, his wife, the child in question, and hi s own child to maintain. The question for the Court to d ec id e was, whether upon these facts the plaintiff was bound to continue the par mcnt upon the order after the Poor Law Bill came into ope ration, the 57th Section of which said, that any man marryin g a woman who had a bastard child, such child became part of his family, and he was bound to maintain it so long as he was able until the age of sixteen, or until the mother's death- The case was argued for the plaintiff by Mr Thessiger, and for the defendant by Mr. Dampier. The JUDGES then deliver e d t h e i r opinions seriatim. Tuleywere clearly of opinion that after the Act in question b,„ ar ne the law of the land, the putative father of a bastard child was not bound to make any payments for the support of Such child, after the mother's marriage to a man who, as in dais case, was able to supp or t i t . They were not called uport to give any p oium? upon the policy of the law, but to eonstrue its words according to their legal meaning. By tueh marriacre of the mother of the bastard child it beeaale part of the family of her husband, and the order, if ; - „;),t destroyed, was at all event , suspended during the life pi the mother, or so long as it wail not chargeable to floe parish. J udgerPeni was then given for the plaintiffs, with 101. de msges, as agreed apon in the special case, I
